Spring has Sprung

Well, Sugar City, I miss you very much, but it is Spring here, and it still may be a while before it finds you.  Don't miss that!

I have the spring veggies in my garden planted - lettuce, broccoli, carrots, califlower, peas, spinach. We bought 3 trees this weekend, a peach, and necterine, and a crabapple.  And the two trees in our yard that we weren't sure were alive are flowering!! 

We have fun things growing in our window too.

These are flowers - marigolds, bachelor buttons, etc.

This is the bean plant that Colty planted at preschool.  We are so proud of it, and Dave thinks it will sprout beans before it is even warm enough to put outside.

A beautiful double Daffodil.  I do miss these since I don't have any bulbs in my new yard -yet.  I bought myself some daffodils and they got thrown out today, but then Colty got this at preschool.  To me is just screams - IT IS SPRING!!

Today for preschool we went to one of the girl's grandma's house.  She lives on a 7 acre "farm".  It was so fun to see the animals.

 Riding horses was a highlight.  Brady kept saying  "more time!"  He might be a cowboy when he grows up.  He loves riding horses, being a horse, looking at horses, etc.

Dave is also getting ready for the summer by shedding his winter weight.  He has been working really hard at being healthy (we both have actually).  We have been going to they gym, watching what we eat, and counting calories.  Dave has lost 19 lbs in 3 1/2 weeks.  I have only lost 5, but none the less, we are both so happy with the way it makes us feels to be eating right and excersizing.  I am so proud of Dave.  He would like to lose a bit more, but don't worry, when he starts wearing pants smaller than mine, I will start lacing his dinner with fattener!!

Spring means busy for farmers, and Dave has been running and running (maybe that is why he lost the weight) like crazy.  He gets up at 5 am and we don't see him at night until 7 ish.  He is responsible for receiving the potato seed for his farm, and dealing with truckers and dispatchers and the sort is quite stressful.  So, me and the boys are leaving!!

Spring Break is next week so we are headed to UT in the morning.  There are some gals from here that are going too, so we will caravan, which will be nice.  We hope we don't run into any unfriendly April Fools jokes on our way!  So, Friday through Thursday in PG, then to ID to check on our house and see some familiar faces, then on Saturday to Burley for a cousin's wedding reception, and Sunday we will journey back home.  It will be so fun and we can't wait!!

Isn't Spring wonderful!
